Hello, everyone. My name is Stacy Warren, and I am a fourth grade teacher in Alabama. I have been teaching for 11 years, and this is my second year in fourth grade. Previously I taught first grade for eight years and third grade for one year. I really love fourth graders, and I hope I get to stay in fourth for a while.
I am married and have two beautiful children, a daughter and a son. I am currently working on my masters degree in elementary education. I only have 2 classes left after this term. I am so excited. It has been quite a challenge to work full time, be a good wife and mom, and go to school. I wanted to get my masters degree because I had been out of the classroom for six years while my children were small. A lot had changed in education in those six years, and I felt like I was behind. Getting my masters degree has allowed me to get up to date on current teaching practices. I feel like I am becoming a better teacher every day. I love my students and my job.
I am looking forward to this class, ED505. I am a bit technologically challenged, so I know I will learn a lot which will improve my classroom instruction. I look forward to meeting my classmates and learning and working together this term.
Thanks,
Stacy
You are so right about education changing. I think sometimes it changes from day to day. Good luck with the class.
ReplyDeleteGood to have you in class. I will say that technology is certainly one of the things that keeps education changing on a daily basis now. I hope you find some great stuff for your class in this course.

Stacy, I am looking forward to following your blog. Since we both teach 4th grade, hopefully we can share some ideas! I noticed that you are a fan of Waltkes's Web. I use this website in my classroom everyday!
